Faith on the Front Line workshop

A group of students were given an insightful look at life as a Muslim in the British Army during a workshop event called ‘Faith on the Front Line’.

Major Naveed Muhammad, a serving officer for 30 years, gave a presentation followed by a question and answer session covering varying aspects of religion in the armed forces including:

Democracy and Islam

The core values of the armed forces and how these can be related to through Islam and communities.

The British Armed Forces’ rules of engagement

How one can balance their faith with their service in the armed forces

The Armed Forces Muslim Association (AFMA), was set up in recognition of the contribution Muslim personnel make across all three services, both in the Regular and Reserve forces. There are currently 650 Muslims serving with the British armed forces.
